Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

OBB

✓ from openbb import obb

✗ from openbb_benzinga import obb

Direct import from openbb_benzinga may skip platform initialization.

BenzingaFetcher

✓ from openbb_benzinga.models.benzinga_models import BenzingaFetcher

✗ from openbb_benzinga.fetcher import BenzingaFetcher

Wrong module path, fetcher is in models subpackage.

Query Benzinga news for AAPL using the OpenBB platform. Requires an OpenBB Personal Access Token (PAT) and a Benzinga API key set in environment variables (OPENBB_PAT, BENZINGA_API_KEY).

from openbb import obb obb.account.login(pat=os.environ.get('OPENBB_PAT')) results = obb.news.company(provider='benzinga', symbol='AAPL', limit=5) df = results.to_dataframe() print(df)

Debug

Known issues

breakingOpenBB v4.x changed from OBBject to structured DataFrames. Direct attribute access (e.g., .results) no longer works; use .to_dataframe() or .to_dict().

fix

Replace .results with .to_dataframe() or .to_dict().

affects: >=4.0.0

gotchaSome endpoints require both an OpenBB PAT and a Benzinga API key. Missing credentials return cryptic errors.

fix

Set OPENBB_PAT and BENZINGA_API_KEY environment variables before making calls.

affects: all

deprecatedEndpoint /benzinga/analyst_search is deprecated in favor of /benzinga/analyst_search_v2.

fix

Use analyst_search_v2 instead.

affects: >=1.5.0

gotchaProvider name in OpenBB v4 is 'benzinga' (lowercase). Using 'Benzinga' or 'BENZINGA' will fail.

fix

Always pass provider='benzinga' (lowercase) in function calls.

affects: >=4.0.0
